UK bosses cool on joining single currency

UK
industry leaders are going off the idea of joining the Euro, according to
research.

An
annual Mori poll shows that less than 50 per cent of respondents backed a move
into the European currency, compared to 70 per cent five years ago.

The
research – which questioned chairmen, chief executives and board directors –
also found that most industry captains backed proposed reforms to corporate
governance, with 70 per cent supporting the recommendations of the Higgs
Report.
